Private Training at a Glance

A Dedicated Class for Your Workforce

Private training gives one organization a dedicated instructor, a coordinated schedule, and the opportunity to connect appropriate course discussion and examples to its employees, workplace, equipment, projects, policies, and operational needs.

Dedicated Instructor

The class is scheduled specifically for your organization rather than being shared with general open-enrollment participants.

Flexible Scheduling

Cindy works with your organization and the instructor to identify appropriate available dates and delivery requirements.

Onsite or Live Online

Most private courses are onsite. Selected classroom-based programs may be delivered live online.

Personal Coordination

Quotes, invoices, purchasing requirements, participant information, logistics, accessibility, and class preparation are coordinated personally.

Is Private Training Right for You?

Private Training Is Usually Best When Several Employees Need the Same Course

Private Training Works Well When You:

  • Have several employees who need the same course
  • Want a class dedicated to your workforce
  • Need greater control over the class date and time
  • Prefer training at your own facility
  • Need hands-on instruction using your equipment
  • Want employees to discuss workplace situations together
  • Have procurement or invoicing requirements
  • Need personal scheduling or accessibility coordination

Group-Size Guide

How Many People Need Training?

1 participant Open enrollment or eligible self-paced training is often more practical.
2–6 participants Open enrollment is often the more economical live-instructor option when a suitable date is available.
7–20 participants Private training is often the strongest option when the group needs the same course.
A private class may still be scheduled for fewer than seven participants when the client agrees to the seven-participant minimum charge.

Straightforward Private-Class Pricing

Seven-Participant Minimum Billing

Every private course has its own published per-person price. The base training fee is calculated using the greater of seven participants or the actual number attending.

Base Training Fee Formula

Published Per-Person Course Price × Greater of 7 Participants or Actual Attendance

Example: 5 Participants

$99 × 7 = $693

Five employees may attend, but the client is billed for the seven-participant minimum.

Example: 7 Participants

$99 × 7 = $693

Seven participants meet the standard minimum billing threshold.

Example: 12 Participants

$99 × 12 = $1,188

Once attendance exceeds seven, the base fee is based on the actual participant count.

Pricing examples are for illustration only. They do not include applicable onsite travel, optional handbooks, additional instructors, special materials, unusual scheduling, or other approved costs. Cindy confirms the complete written price before the class is finalized.

Open Enrollment May Be the Better Option

If one to six employees need a course and can attend a scheduled class, open enrollment may be more economical than paying the private-class seven-participant minimum.
